        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The West Jakarta Administrative City Government\nheld an operation to capture sailfin catfish in the Taman Semanan Indah\ncanal child, Kalideres, West Jakarta, on Friday (17\/4\/2026). This\ninitiative forms part of the simultaneous movement by the DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government to control the population of invasive fish that\nthreaten river ecosystem preservation. West Jakarta Mayor Iin Mutmainnah\nhas prepared special appreciation for the officers who successfully\ncapture the fish. Not only cash incentives, Iin also promises\nrecreational rewards for officers who collect many sailfin catfish\ncatches. \u201cSo later they can enjoy it together and we will also invite\nthem all to refresh, to go to Ancol,\u201d said Iin. Until 09.00 WIB or one\nhour after the operation began, the joint team is said to have\nsuccessfully obtained catches of around 25 kilograms. All the sailfin\ncatfish from this catch will be immediately buried at the Semanan Flora\nCentre. This operation will be carried out routinely to eradicate the\nfish that damage the river embankments. There were rumours circulating\nabout irresponsible individuals using sailfin catfish meat for food\nprocessing like siomay, even though this fish absorbs heavy metals that\nare dangerous to health. She also urged the public to participate in\nmonitoring and immediately report if they find any practices of\nprocessing food based on sailfin catfish in West Jakarta. In agreement,\nMember of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hilda Kusuma Dewi, who\nwas present at the location, also asked the public to monitor the\npresence of sailfin catfish so that it is not exploited by irresponsible\nparties. \u201cIts reproduction is very fast and it is certainly very\ndangerous if made into processed food. So this needs monitoring and our\ncollective concern so that the river ecosystem can remain clean, and the\npublic is safe so that this is not consumed or taken by irresponsible\nindividuals,\u201d stated Hilda. Hilda has also conveyed to the West Jakarta\nCity Government to continue the sailfin catfish extermination programme\nroutinely in the future.<\/p>",
